Hi,
here is a description of the problem
kernel 2.2.18 home made to use the new-input-layer (see the .config with
the relevant parts)
french extended USB keyboard
keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes set to 1
using the keymaps for the french keyboards here
<URL:http://www.linux-france.org/article/materiel/mac/clavier_rpm3.html>
alienated to tgz, extracted and installed by hand.
whille loading the keymap everything is OK under console.
under X using Xpmac
that display the following message at startup
Xpmac / X Window System (X11R6.3)

Using XFree86/Linux keycode handling.
(yes I need to use Xpmac instead of Xfree4.*, for the momment)
Xpmac is launched by xdm with the following options
zazie:~ > more /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
[SNIP]
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/Xpmac -mode 17 -depth 24 -kbdtype fr_new vt7
OKAY I got a french keyboard quite useable
except
1) arrows are unusable
left produce 4 + beep
up 8 + beep
down 2 + beep
rigth 6 + beep
2) pressing space once, gives me a repetition of spaces until I press an
other key, like if space is sticky
3) ctrl-command-fn did'nt allow me to switch back to the console
oops..... there's something wrong
did I do something wrong ??
thank's for any advice.
Eric
ps and oh an other thing, while working under the console
both caps-lock and num-lock sends hid.c: ctrl urb status -32 received

je suis en train de pouffiner ma conf sous SUSE (distrib
intéressante.... :-) et j'envisage de tester ensuite la
RH 6.0, juste pour voir...
-+- OP in GLP : bien pouffiner sa conf ou le contraire -+-
